If you are a bass fisherman then you will be able to fish for flounder with the gear you currently own and have a similar, and just as exciting, experience. You will find that one of the better locations in which to fish for flounder would be where there is an inlet. This is because the current flow is narrow and flounder are known to wait for their own prey in these areas.
      Flounder are a bottom water fish and you can us a swivel or colored beads on your line to attract them. What you want to use will depend on the weather and bottom conditions. Anglers using the drift-fisherman method in which you would put your line in and then just let the current carry it usually works when fishing for flounder. Live minnows are the most preferred bait but you can also us killifish or mullet. You will also want to have 10 to 15 pound test line.
      The female flounder is the one, which will be considered as the trophy founder. If you catch a trophy flounder, then another female will come to take its place as early as the next day. You need to be patient when you believe a flounder has your bait. They have a large mouth and will take their time in swallowing the bait and getting hooked.
      The founder is an aggressive fish, which can weigh up to 20 pounds. They will fight when caught and can break the surface and at times create enough slack in the line to be able to throw the hook.
